Small businesses play a role in our everyday lives, but their influence and importance extend far beyond the communities they're in. Small and medium-sized enterprises are the hidden engine powering the global economy, making up 90% of all businesses globally, and they're responsible for nearly 50% of the global GDP. In this podcast series, we look behind the curtain to understand their impact across industries, how new technologies can support their growth and why they're positioned to play an even bigger role in the future of the global economy. "Local to global: The power of small business" is a podcast series from GZERO's Blue Circle Studios produced in partnership with Mastercard.
